Why we use IR lamps in the cleanroom

When it comes to drying and curing on a cleanroom bench, traditional convection ovens usually just don’t cut it. Especially now that everyone is moving toward “lead-free” and “green” standards. It’s not just about switching out the chemicals; it’s about how you actually get the heat into the part.

IR vs. Hot Air

Think about a standard oven. You’re basically heating up a big box of air and a bunch of metal walls before your wafer even feels a thing. It’s a waste of time and power. IR lamps are different. They use radiant heating, which means the energy goes straight to the substrate. It completely skips the air. No massive blowers, no heavy-duty insulation, and a much smaller energy bill.
